"In the Crown Court, the maximum sentence is five years' imprisonment and/or a fine. In the Magistrates' Court the maximum sentence is six months imprisonment and/or a fine. In both courts, there will also be a mandatory two year minimum period of disqualification and endorsement. The law also requires an extended retest upon conviction"

It seems he was held in custody so has to be put in front of a magistrate almost straight away.
It's been refereed up to a Crown Court which would appear to mean he is being charged with something that could include a sentence that is longer than a magistrates court can impose (6 months?.)
